1. Key Ideas What is solubility?
What happens when you add more solute to a saturated solution?
How do you describe how much of a solute is in a solution?

2. Solubility in Water What is solubility?
The solubility of a substance is the maximum mass of a solute that can dissolve in 100 g of solvent at a certain temperature and standard atmospheric pressure.
solubility: the ability of one substance to dissolve in another at a given temperature and pressure

3. Solubility in Water, continued
Different substances have different solubilities.

4. Visual Concept: Solubility of a Solid in a Liquid

5. Solubility in Water, continued
How much of substance is in a solution?
To express how much of a substance can dissolve in a solvent, you need to use the concentration.
Concentration: the amount of a particular substance in a given volume of a mixture, solution, or ore
A concentrated solution has a large amount of solute.
A dilute solution ha sonly a small amount of solute.

6. Saturated Solutions
What happens when you add more solute to a saturated solution?
In a saturated solution, the dissolved solute is in equilibrium with undissolved solute. So, if you add more solute, it just settles to the bottom of the container.
saturated solution: a solution that cannot dissolve any more solute under the given conditions

7. Saturated Solutions, continued
Unsaturated solutions can become saturated.
unsaturated solution: a solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution does and that is able to dissolve additional solute
Heating a saturated solution can dissolve more solid.
The solubility of most solutes increases with temperature.

8. Saturated Solutions, continued
supersaturated solution: a solution that holds more dissolved solute than is required to reach equilibrium at a given temperature.
To make a supersaturated solution, you raise the temperature of a solution, dissolve more solute, then let the solution cool again.

9. Solubility in Water, continued
Temperature and pressure affect the solubility of gases.
Gaseous solutes are less soluble in warmer water.
Example: Soda goes flat quickly at room temperature.
Gases are more soluble under higher pressure.
Example: When a can of soda is opened, carbon dioxide gas that had been dissolved in the soda bubbles out of solution.

11. Concentration of Solutions
One of the most common ways of expressing the concentration of solution is molarity.
Molarity: a concentration unit of a solution expressed in moles of solute dissolved per liter of solution.
Molarity is moles per liter of solution, not per liter of solvent.
A 1.0 M solution of NaCl, contains 1.0 mol of dissolved NaCl in every 1.0 L of solution.
